Laser cutting
Demand for laser cutting is growing strongly because of its many advantages over traditional processes like drilling, slotting and machining:
- Virtually any shape can be machined on both ends of a tube and along its length.
- Components can be produced in a single step, on a single machine, automatically.
- Traditional machining operations can be eliminated from the manufacturing process.
- Eliminating these multiple steps also eliminates the accumulative error associated with consecutive manufacturing process, and all the handling time.
- Direct labour and cycle times can be cut dramatically.
- Designers are free to use their creativity and innovation in product design and manufacture without adding cost.
- Closer tolerances and better repeatability shortens assembly times.
- Prototypes can be produced in a fraction of the time.
- Tooling costs and jig costs are slashed.
